Posted by randyo on Sun Aug 5 04:23:05 2012, in response to Re: C to Lefferts, posted by italianstallion on Sat Aug 4 22:08:29 2012. Back when there was both a Bway Lcl from 137 to So/Fy and a Bway Exp from V/C to N/Lts, there was a short lived Bway Thru Exp that did operate in rush hours on the middle between 137 and 96 in the peak direction of traffic. Since by scheduling standards, 1/2 min extra run time is allowed per station and there were only 4 stations skipped that would amount to a run time saving of only 2 min. Given that a train crossing to the exp tk would be 2 min behind its leader, that would mean the S/B thru exp would meet its leader at 103 St and a N/N thru exp would meet its leader at 137 St. That would require one train or the other to be held for clearance. Since the actual runtime saving was minimal at best and more accurately non existent, the thru express concept on Bway was dropped. |
